Years ago, after a drunken misunderstanding, Simon Dawson gave up his job in the city, moved to the wilds of Exmoor and became an accidental self-sufficient smallholder surrounded by animals. But now his life is changing all over again--horror of horrors, he's getting older. Enlisting a cast of best friends--including Ziggy, a panicked soon-to-be father, Garth, an annoying teenager, and the General, a rather handsome pig--to work through their age-related angsts, a plan is hatched to help each other mature (or immature). Hilarity and heartfelt discoveries ensue--all with a fair dose of animal madness along the way. Join Simon and company in this uplifting laugh-out-loud antidote to middle age in the mud; a place where you truly realise that the sty's the limit.
